About this map

Wallenpaupack Creek and its many tributaries, including Butternut Creek and Sugar Hill Creek, carve through this landscape at the border of Wayne and Pike counties. The map documents a cluster of settlements that grew around water power and timber, such as Haags Mill and Newfoundland. Local faith and community life are anchored by St Mary Magdalen Ch and Zion Ch, while Pine Grove Cem provides a focal point for genealogical research.

Southern reaches of Lake Wallenpaupack dominate the northern edge, bordered by Roadside Park and Ironwood Park. The terrain shifts from the developed Golf Course and residential pockets near Greentown to the protected woodlands of Tobyhanna State Park and the broader State Forest. Landforms like Sugar Hill and Panther Hill define the valley horizons, while numerous Gravel Pits and a Quarry indicate the local extractive industry of the mid-20th century.
